Item 8.01 — Other Events

PCTEL today announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Wider Networks LLC alleging patent infringement, patent interference, unfair competition and false and fraudulent advertising, relating to PCTEL’s CLARIFY™ interference management system and aspects of its industry-leading scanning receivers. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (Greenbelt Division). The complaint further charges that Wider Networks refused to license PCTEL’s patented technology and also describes inconsistencies in Wider Networks’ claims to the USPTO. This litigation follows PCTEL’s filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in June 2007 and October 2008, for reexamination of two of Wider Networks’ patents. As of the March 13, 2009 filing of the Complaint, the USPTO rejected one of the Wider Network patents and agreed to reexamine the second patent, consistent with PCTEL’s June 2007 and October 2008 requests.

PCTEL intends to serve Wider with the complaint within two weeks.
